History:
I had the misfortune of being required to purchase a portion of a friend and co-worker’s property for a road widening project. When I arrived, I was served Tavern Punch. They had just returned from a vacation to New England. They obtained the recipe from a tavern visited during their trip. The recipe was shared and it’s name was appropriately called Tavern Punch. This punch is very strong and hits quickly. Do not drive after
drinking Tavern Punch.
